The Ancestral Body of the Overlord Physique
Zhou Tong casually shook the Holy Imperial Son away, then waved his hand, sending the Sacred Spirit Stone Token flying to his side. He then laughed and said, "Three moves have passed. How about now?"
"I've lost! I'll honor my bet and lend you the Battle Staff for a hundred years." The Holy Imperial Son said, and immediately used a secret technique, and a golden light instantly entered the Battle Staff.
This weapon is Bloodline Inheritance the Battle Saint Ape. If it is to be lent out, the approval of the Battle Saint Ape lineage is definitely required. This secret method means that this person is temporarily in charge of the Ancient Emperor Weapon Deity cannot turn against it.
The Holy Imperial Son casually waved his hand, and the Battle Staff flew to Zhou Tong's side. However, despite his defeat, there was no frustration in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of joy.
The Battle Immortal Path requires opponents, and in this respect, the Holy Imperial Son and Zhou Tong are the same kind of people. When facing powerful enemies, while they feel the pressure, they also feel a strong fighting spirit and excitement.
The more opponents you have, and the stronger they are, the more it will help you improve!
It could even be said that cultivators who embark on the Battle Immortal Path are generally not discouraged by failure, nor do they lose their fighting spirit. This is because the path itself is a path of challenge, a path of challenging the strong.
Of course, not just anyone can walk the Battle Immortal Path; one must at least have the potential of Imperial Son's son to be qualified to take this path.
The Battle Immortal Path the Hegemon Body Lineage has not produced a single person who has attained enlightenment; even the Battle Saint Ape lineage only lived Lifetime the Battle Immortal Path to Battle Saint Emperor. This demonstrates the difficulty of this path.
"A hundred years from now, I will challenge you to a duel again!" The Holy Imperial Son grabbed the Sacred Spirit Stone Token and turned to leave the Divine Domain.
"The Dao of the Battle Saint Ape... is indeed extraordinary!" Zhou Tong watched the departing figure of the Holy Imperial Son, lost in thought.
The three moves in the previous duel. The first move was a test, both the Holy Imperial Son and Zhou Tong were testing each other; the second move, the Holy Imperial Son used a forbidden technique from his father's scriptures, with boundless divine power; as for the third move, the move that instantly transformed into thousands of forms, this belongs to the change-seeking move in the secret technique of the Battle Saint Emperor.
"The first strike was fine, but the second and third strikes were truly top-tier secret techniques. In fact, the scriptures are just the foundation; the most direct manifestation of the Dao of the Ancient Emperor and Ancient Great Emperor is still various secret techniques." Zhou Tong was also pondering this in his heart. He was no longer in a hurry to leave the Divine Domain; he would rather comprehend it first.
Throughout history, the scriptures created by any Great Emperor Ancient Emperor, aside from the most basic cultivation methods, have contained various secret techniques. The most typical example is the scripture of the Taiyin Human Emperor, which consists of thirty-three pages, of which only three pages are cultivation methods, but the secret techniques comprise a full thirty pages—ten times the length of the scripture itself!
Among these secret techniques, there are as many as three that can be considered "taboo".
Not only the Taiyin Human Emperor, but other Great Emperor Zhou Tong knew were similar, such as the Void Great Emperor. During Zhou Tong's battle with Ji Zi, Ji Zi used several forbidden secret techniques.
This is the most obvious difference between Zhou Tong and the Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperor Great Emperor.
The Great Emperor possessed at least three or four forbidden secret techniques, yet Zhou Tong had only created one so far.
"Actually, I should be able to create another forbidden secret technique..." Zhou Tong examined himself and realized that he still had a chance to create a forbidden secret technique— the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form!
The most powerful ability of the Hegemon Body is actually the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form. Although Zhou Tong's Ten Divine Forms have been merged, they are only Divine Form when unleashed. To truly transform into the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, he still needs to fill the Divine Form with sufficiently powerful laws and runes.
But this step is a real challenge.
For example, the ancestral body transforms into Kirin's back, but a pair of Kunpeng Wings grow from that back. So, when filling in the laws, the Kirin's back is naturally filled with the Kirin Treasure Art, and the Kunpeng Wings are filled with the Kunpeng Treasure Art.
But how should one apply the Kirin Method and the Kunpeng Method at the junction of the Kirin's back and the Kunpeng Wings to prevent them from conflicting? Furthermore, how should one arrange the profound mysteries of the laws to ensure that the power of the Kirin Method and the Kunpeng Method are completely integrated without any obstruction?
This process is different from the situation when Zhou Tong created the "Battle Immortal Art".
In the beginning, the Battle Immortal Art relied on the Heaven Slaying Dao of the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Hegemon Fist of the Hegemon Body Lineage, and the profound meaning of the Ten Evils Treasure Art.
However, when it is fully perfected, this move has already broken away from the categories of the Ten Evils Treasure Art, Heaven Slaying Dao, and Hegemon Fist. There are no longer any traces of its evolutionary origins; it is completely self-contained.
However, the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form is different. This method does not need to conceal the traces of the Ten Evils Treasure Art, and should even amplify these traces; but the key is how to combine them and how to make them harmonious and unified.
Zhou Tong had previously used the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, but his Ancestral Body at that time had many flaws, and many of its laws would conflict or even contradict each other, which limited the improvement of Zhou Tong's Ancestral Body's combat power.
"This step is the true mastery of the Ten Fiends Mysteries!" Zhou Tong thought to himself. He also felt a kind of pressure, the pressure of abandoning the inheritance of the Hegemon Body Lineage and opening up a new path for himself.
"No, if we look at it from another angle, this is actually a kind of divine skill... a divine skill that allows one to wield the Ten Evils Treasure Art." Zhou Tong suddenly thought of the various divine skills from the Chaotic Ancient Era.
"In other words, if I want to completely perfect my Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, it is actually equivalent to creating a Heavenly Technique that specifically drives the Ten Evils Treasure Art; then further sublimate this Heavenly Technique, transforming it into a secret technique, and finally sublimating it into the true Hegemon Body Ancestral Form."
"No, I can't create any new Heavenly Techniques right now. I just need to fix the way to use one Heavenly Technique and evolve it into the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form." Zhou Tong's thoughts gradually emerged.
The creation of any secret technique requires an idea and a starting point, as was the case with Zhou Tong's own creation of the Battle Immortal Art. Similarly, Ye Fan's creation of the Heavenly Emperor Fist in the original work was also quite similar, as it was gradually dismantled from the many scriptures and secret techniques he knew, and finally transformed into a technique that belonged to him.
Not only Zhou Tong and Ye Fan from the original novel, but even the Desolate Heaven Emperor is the same. The origins of many of the secret techniques created by the Desolate Heaven Emperor are actually quite clear. For example, the Bell of Years is clearly an evolution of the Red King's Great Dao; the Grass Annihilation Sword Art is clearly a fusion of the Grass Character Sword Art and the Immortal Sutra ...
At his current level, it's simply impossible for him to create a perfect technique that utilizes the Ten Evils Treasure Art.
However, all that is needed is to create a method of use specifically for the Ten Evils Treasure Art, and to "solidify" certain aspects of the Ten Evils Treasure Art, which might create a completely new Hegemon Body Ancestral Form.
"My creation of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form is completely different from that of the Hegemon Body Ancestor. Once it takes shape, my Ancestral Body will surely crush him!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
"If you want to activate all ten treasure techniques at the same time, the most famous celestial skill is none other than the Eight-Nine Heavenly Merit of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage." Zhou Tong recalled the Heavenly Merit Treasure Technique he knew, and the first one that came to mind was the celestial skill of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit is also very powerful, capable of perfectly integrating the Ten Evils Treasure Art. However, unfortunately, this Heavenly Technique has a limit, which is the ability to activate six of the treasure techniques.
However, the number of Heavenly Techniques in the Demon Ape Lineage is very high, reaching as many as seventy-two.
Of course, the strength of a Heavenly Skill is not judged by the number of magical techniques activated simultaneously.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit can fully unleash the power of the six kinds of Ten Evils Treasure Art, and then further superimpose them; however, the Heavenly Art of the Demon Ape Lineage can only unleash a small part of the power of the treasure techniques, so even if seventy-two kinds are superimposed, the power is only equivalent to that of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit.
According to Zhou Tong's plan, the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit should be combined with the Heavenly Art of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage, taking the best of both worlds and making up for the shortcomings, to create a completely new Heavenly Art.
Of course, Zhou Tong also understands that he is absolutely incapable of doing that now.
Because both the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Merit and the Heavenly Technique of the Chaos Demon Ape lineage are Immortal King- level methods, one would definitely need to cultivate to the Immortal King level to learn from the strengths of these two methods.
I haven't even reached the pinnacle of humanity yet, so I definitely can't do that.
"I will start with the Heavenly Techniques of the Demon Ape Lineage, re-comprehension the Chaotic Ancient Method, and study the Heavenly Merit Treasure Technique of the Chaotic Ancient Method Law. Based on this, I will evolve it into the secret technique of the Sky Shrouding Method and transform it into my ancestral body!" Zhou Tong pondered for a while and quickly made up his mind.
